AUG 11, 2016 LISTEN

Ghanaian-born Germany defender Jerome Boateng trained with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Wednesday for the first time since tearing his right thigh against France in the semi-final defeat of Euro 2016. 

The centre-back managed some light running at Bayern's Saebener Strasse training ground.

Jerome showed great improvement at training even though there is no date as to when he can return to full team training after suffering the injury in Marseille on July 7.

The club has confirmed that he will miss the start of the Bundesliga season when Bayern host Werder Bremen on August 26 at Munich's Allianz Arena.

Bayern have been rocked by a series of injuries as Brazilian Douglas Costa and French star Franck Ribery were all sidelined.

But the good news is that all three were able to undergo some light training on Wednesday.

Costa, Boateng and Dutch winger Arjen Robben are all expected to sit out Sunday's match at Borussia Dortmund for the German Super Cup in the traditional season opener.
